According to the product specialist
Pros
| The gel's isotonic composition with 6.9% carbohydrates per 100 ml ensures optimal absorption of fluid, carbohydrates and minerals. |
| The compact size makes the gel easy to carry and use on the go. |
| The sugar blend with fast, mid-range and slow carbohydrates provides a quick energy boost as well as sustained energy during heavy efforts. |
| The addition of potassium compensates for electrolyte loss through sweating and contributes to a constant fluid balance. |
| The Dual Carb formula with a 2:1 glucose-fructose ratio enables a maximum carb uptake of 90 grams an hour. |
| The added sodium contributes to proper moisture absorption and makes you feel thirsty so you'll continue to hydrate during exercise. |
| When opening the packaging, you won't lose the tear-off strip due to the so-called "Trash Chain". |
| Some PowerGel flavours contain caffeine (51 mg each): Black Currant, Green Apple and Espresso. |
| Due to their highly fluid consistency, you can ingest these Hydro gels without drinking any water. |
| The Dual Carb formula with a 2:1 glucose-fructose ratio enables a maximum carb intake of an impressive 90 grams an hour. |
| The added sodium (approx. 200 mg per gel) contributes to proper moisture absorption and makes you feel thirsty, so that you won't forget to drink while you're on the road. |
| Some Hydro gels contain caffeine: the flavours Cola (100 mg per gel), Cherry (51 mg per gel) and Mojito (51 mg per gel). |
| This pouch is resealable, so you can use the gel for several servings. |
| The 2:1 ratio of maltodextrin and fructose gives you a carbohydrate boost! |
| Easy to carry thanks to the small packaging. |
Cons
| The sweet taste can be intense with repeated use but dissolving the gel in water makes it fresher and lighter. |
| Due to the high carbohydrate concentration, it is recommended to take this gel with a few sips of water. |
| The added caffeine makes the Black Currant, Green Apple and Espresso PowerGels unsuitable for children under the age of 18 and pregnant women. |
| The added caffeine makes the Cola, Cherry and Mojito Hydro gels unsuitable for children under the age of 18 and pregnant women. |
| Less suitable for low-intensity training. |
| The Orange flavour is not suitable for persons younger than 18 and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding due to the addition of caffeine. |
